Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate; but when fighting is prescribed for them, lo! a party of them fear men as they ought to have feared Allah, or (even) with a greater fear, and say: Our Lord! why hast Thou ordained fighting for us?
Wahai Muhammad, tidakkah kamu melihat dan heran terhadap orang-orang yang menginginkan perang sebelum datang perintah perang? Kepada mereka dikatakan, "Belum tiba saatnya berperang, tahanlah dirimu, jagalah selalu salat dan zakat kalian."
